Welcome to the LGBTQ* BJJ Club Oerlikon

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-based martial art that relies on leverage, joint locks, chokes, and positional control—rather than strength or body size. By learning to utilize mechanics, anyone can train effectively, regardless of their physique. This makes BJJ a martial art that truly works for everyone.

The martial arts division has been part of the Rainbow Sport Zürich club since 2008. We switched from wrestling to BJJ in 2024. flinta has been around since 2026. flinta* mat has been around since 2026.

The Monday training session is reserved for flinta* people (i.e., women, lesbians, inter*, non-binary, trans*, and agender people) - that is everyone who suffers under patriarchal structures or faces discrimination based on their gender identity—often referred as WTNB (women, trans, non-binary) / TGNC (trans and gender non-conforming). We train with a special focus on physical contact, language, and individual needs.

Thursday’s training session is open to all identities.

Neurodivergent individuals are also warmly welcome.
